Ashton riding the bull at the fair.... This was his most favorite thing to do..... He would of stayed there all day and rode that thing.. Probably going to have to go back tomorrow and give me one more day of fun. The lady that was working was so nice and let him ride extra times... Think it will be the first thing he ask for when he wakes up. We went to the fair and walked around the exhibits. Ate dinner and Ashton did the tractor pull then went to the rodeo. Ariana and Whitney sat with us in our booth... Lots of fun today. Josh is excited that Grandpa is coming back tonight. They are meeting in the Hot Tub first thing in the morning.

Kylee and Ariana dressed up for Cowboy day at the Jr. High...... They look like cute cowgirls... It's go nice that they have the same classes this year. Think they are together in every class but one.... Ariana does a super good job helping Kylee.....

"First Day of School"

I'm finally going to make an effort to get back into my blog... My parents are leaving to go on a mission to Cambodia in October. I think this blog will be one of the ways they stay in touch with our family. The kids have been back in school for a couple weeks. Kylee is in 7th grade and going to the Jr. High. She is currently playing volleyball and loves it. Kylee is missing coming home after school and having easy homework. She usually has volleyball after school and then her and Ariana do homework for about an hour every night... Thank you Ariana!!! Josh is in 3rd grade with Miss Bailey. He gets to stay with her all day and is enjoying her very much. He would much rather be home riding his dirt bike or helping grandpa do stuff around the farm. He pretty much asks me everyday if he has to go to school... the answer is "yes, get in the car". Josh is just getting started in scouts with Janette Roylance and I as his leaders... This is a first for me so it will be fun to learn it together with Josh. Ashton is going to Moses Lake this year for preschool with his cousin Beck. He goes 3 days a week and is also taking a gymnastics class 2 days. His teacher this year is "teacher Korbi".... He loves going and loves playing in the gym. Him and Beck are best friends and its so fun to listen to them talk to each other.... I get to watch Pasiley the 3 days Ashton goes to Preschool. Korbi and I meet half way which is about 15 mins out of Othello and switch kids... So far it has worked great.... I love having Pasiley around. I miss having those little feet following me around everywhere i go... She is very easy and my kids look forward to seeing her after school......

(This is Korbi and I am going to post for Tiffanni because she never does.) :) Summer is flying by and the kids are busy with normal summer activities. We had a great week at Ashton Family Week the highlight was the kids spending time with their wonderful Aunt Korbi, man, they really love her and she is so awesome, not the mention that her kids are adorable. Ashton is spending a lot of time in swimming lessons. He is becoming quite the fish. He can float on his back and sometimes forgets that he can't really swim and heads to the deep end. We have a new stray dog hanging around, so some of my beloved cats have disappeared. Tomorrow is the Relay for Life in Othello to honor my Grandma Verella. It will be a busy day and a fun night filled with memories and hopefully some reminiscing of my wonderful Grandma. Well, have a great summer and hopefully I will post soon and get some pictures up. :) Hasta....

Ruben and Tony took the kids miniature golfing... The best part was in was glow in the dark.... They had so much fun. They wanted to come every night and golf.

Ashton was not to sure about these birds but did a pretty good job of pretending. He didn't cry just looked very scared.

Ruben let Ashton climb on the tree.....
